I’m having the strangest problem with a RSS feed that uses a segment that searches a field within the channel.

I have a url like this: http://www.mysite.com/rss/news_events/

I can add in parameters via the URL to filter my feed.

For example: http://www.mysite.com/rss/news_events/News/
or http://www.mysite.com/rss/news_events/Events/
or http://www.mysite.com/rss/news_events/all/

I’m taking the segment_3 and putting it into my channel:entries like this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="{master_channel_name}" search:ne_type="{if segment_3 != "all"}{segment_3}{/if}" sticky="no" limit="10" dynamic_start="on" orderby="date" disable="member_data|pagination"}

Everything is working fine, I’m using this for all types of feeds not just this one.  The only problem is if I use the word News I don’t get my news items for this feed.  If I type in New I end up getting my news items.

URL that should work:
http://www.mysite.com/rss/news_events/News/

URL that works but shouldn’t:
http://www.mysite.com/rss/news_events/New/

If you look at the code above, I’m searching ne_type for the segment_3.  In ne_type, it is either ‘Events’ or ‘News’.  There is no ‘New’ value for ne_type as an option at all.

Outside of this RSS feed, in normal web pages I can put ‘News’ into search:ne_type and pull up only those entries. We use the same code for other areas of the site without a problem.

Is this a bug or am I overlooking something?  Any special restriction on the word ‘News’ in an RSS template?

Hmmm, that’s strange.  Could you try adding:

dynamic="off"

?

Hello PhireGuys,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

If Barrel’s suggestion does not work can you also check something?

Can you make sure that the same category url is not being used on multiple categories in different category groups?

Please let me know what you find.

Cheers,
